A Fusion of Technology & Intelligent Design

Making use of proprietary and industry leading automotive press and polishing technology, Birdy bar tools are the shape of pure design. Starting with the classic 3-piece shaker, the Birdy approach imbues confidence and a sense of style while actually improving the efficiency of this timeless bar tool. Follow this with a mixing tin that, while luxurious and revolutionary, is as efficient as it is durable, and you’ll start to understand why Birdy is changing the way we make drinks.

Erik Lorincz, world-renowned former head bartender at the Savoy Hotel’s American Bar in London, discovered the essence of the Birdy in March 2014. Trained by one of the great masters in Japan and an ambassador of its acclaimed bar culture, Erik fell in love with the shaker the first time he held it in his hands. Now, in complete collaboration with Birdy, Erik has expanded the line to include a double tin, bar spoons, a jigger and strainers, all crafted to please the eye and sit comfortably in the hand. Original Polishing Technology

Better Start at 0.1 Microns

Decades of experience making precision parts for the automotive industry serve as the foundation for Birdy’s superiority. Hand-polished to within 0.2 microns by skilled craftsmen, Birdy Shakers and Mixing Tins improve efficiency while gently shaving ice to create the maximum amount of tiny air bubbles that actually improve the way a cocktail tastes. A vertical grain works with the rounded shoulders of the Cocktail Shaker to increase the velocity of the ice while minimizing unnecessary ice damage that can make cocktails watery. The Mixing Tin is polished to form a horizontal grain that facilitates stirring to blend and chill drinks faster. This increased efficiency means the same amount of energy results in a better blended cocktail, with greater aeration to improve mouth feel.
